[edit] Biography
Antônio Rogério Nogueira hails from the town of Vitoria da Conquista, Brazil, and trains in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Ricardo de la Riva. Along with his brother, Antônio trains with Black House MMA team.
Although they are identical twins, Rogério can be distinguished from his brother by his lighter weight, and by the presence of a scar on his brother's lower back.
[edit] MMA career
Antônio competed in the Middleweight division of the PRIDE Fighting Championships. His MMA debut was in 2001 with a TKO victory over Shamoji Fujii. A grappling specialist, most of Nogueira's wins thus far have been by decision or use of a submission hold. In his last fight he suffered an upset KO loss to newcomer Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou just 23 seconds into the first round.
Antônio Rogério Nogueira made his return to MMA in February 2008 with a TKO victory over Todd Gouwenberg at Hardcore Championship Fighting.[1]
On May 20th, 2008 he officially signed with clothing company turned MMA promotion Affliction to fight at their debut event in July, Affliction Banned against Vernon White.
[edit] Boxing career
Antônio competes in the Super Heavyweight division. In 2006 he won the Brazilian Championship and the South American Games. His most recent accomplishment is a bronze medal, which he won in the 2007 Pan American Games (Super Heavyweight division 91+ kg).
